Feeling tense, on edge and constantly worried are some of the symptoms of stress and anxiety. Over time these symptoms can start to have a significant negative impact on our lives. We can help you understand what contributes to anxiety in your situation and help you develop strategies for managing its symptoms.
Depression leaves us feeling hopeless, exhausted and worried. Sometimes it is accompanied by sadness and tearfulness, whilst at other times it brings around an overwhelming sense of emptiness. Making decisions becomes almost impossible. When depression sets in, it can be tough to know what to do. Therapy can help you find the way out and start enjoying life again.
Trauma and PTSD can develop in response to a situation(s) in which we felt threatened, neglected or injured. Flashback, dreams, or intrusive thoughts relating to the traumatic events are some of the common symptoms of PTSD. Trauma impacts on how we relate to others and how safe we feel in the world. Therapy can address these concerns by helping you process the events you experienced and give you the skills to feel more in control of your life.
Women’s health issues are often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and poorly treated. Menopause, vulvodynia, endometriosis, vaginismus and other issues affecting women’s health can have wide reaching consequences that affect employment, relationships and mental health. Therapy allows us to explore these issues and find a way to live a fulfilling and meaningful life in the context of the challenges.
Adulthood is filled with many wonderful life stages, ranging from finding independence in early adulthood, to transitioning into retirement and beyond. Whilst these stages are a natural part of life, they sometimes come with unexpected challenges. We may question our purpose, goals in life and personal identity. Talking with an experienced psychologist can help you adjust to the changes in your life and find your way forward.
